You read the news report. You are referred to as a "Class W citizen," which is three levels below supervillains who regularly try to destroy the world! Wow!

[6] The diggerbots make a huge subterranean hangar, complete with hole for aircraft to enter, right under the kangaroo pasture of the neighboring eccentric millionaire. You could cover it if you work fast; he won't come look for a few days.

[2] The hacker already has a job.

The other bots repair the walls with wood and soil. That's all you have, [2] and their work kinda collapses. Thankfully, the castle walls hold.
You review the plans: An inner keep surrounded by a courtyard, surrounded by walls. Good. That should be defensible.

I try to punch Deimos hard enough to knock it out of orbit and make it hit the dome

[3] You punch Deimos, causing its orbit to shift slightly inwards. In a few decades, it'll hit Mars.

Respawn as High Knight of the BACONIC ORDER.

[3] You are a knight on the High Council of the Baconic Order.

Complete the final step towards godhood and merge my spirit with the cosmic Cello and become the GOD OF MUSIC

[4] Cool, you're the God of Music.

Type 'Convert Phobos into a habitable world' into the laptop and hope for the best.

[2] "Convent Phobos to a habited world." Phobos is now a hollow rock full of space nuns.

Respawn in different habitable domed city on Mars.

[6] You respawn in the main colony, on Olympus Mons. That's where the insanity takes place. Oh, look, some "friendly" khajitat!

GM Turn:
The cybermorph and Batxenomorph cower before the God of Music!
Zombie Chell uses her theremin to summon [4] a trumpet-playing Green Arrow who is also an Eldar. These things are weird...
The Khajit [2] miss Praecordia.
The Medic is tired of trying to find someone to heal, and looks for some way to get to Earth. [6] He is transported there by a demon and devoured.

You can't eat raw eggs.

If you make a creature lay eggs where at least one of the egg materials is edible raw, then dwarves will eat the eggs raw. Or at least they should, according to disassembly.

I'm pretty sure I've seen dwarves eat raw eggs. There is no reason why they wouldn't: people still do and dwarves aren't exactly fussy in what they stick in their gob.

You can't in vanilla.

They would need a pretty sizeable reason to revolt. Humans are creatures of habit, and if anything dwarves are more so. They won't want a new government unless they can't live with the old one, unless maybe the new one is a whole lot better.

There's three general ways leaders can stay on top--four, counting apathy. The other three are "sticks," "carrots," and...what's something you use to convince a mule to move without any tangible benefit? Religion? Well, that's how most humans do it. Ever hear if divine right? Basically, it says that King Whoever I was chosen by God to be king, and therefore he and his heirs are the best rulers. Similar ideas were present in most feudal societies. The benefit of a stick to governing minorities should be obvious, but if a government gives tangible benefits--say, if King Urist orders the hill dwarves to sell at least 100 bushels of dwarven wheat every month to Fortressnamed, Fortressnamed will have a good reason to listen to the king. This sort of leadership, as well as the stick and religion methods, can be passed down--"Listen to Cog, King Urist will stop sending supplies/lending military aid/whatever if we don't!"

...I think there was a point in there originally, but I forget what it is.

Sounds good!

Web them, then metabolize their flesh!

Oh, I missed that they were counter-missiles.
Never mind, three is good.
